Inspired By | Chunky Knit Hats

WhatIWore: Sure, it was in the high 70s this week, but my knitting circle is starting back up on Monday and I’m ready for a quick project! I really love beanie season - it means I can get away with washing my hair less and knowing that I’ll be a mom of two with a newborn in tow - that’s a big time saver for me!

I’m going big on this one! I want to use a mega chunky yarn in some sort of cable knit for this project. I see it in a heathered gray (if I can find it!) with either a giant pom or fur on top.  These images I gathered on Pinterest have sparked my creative fire! 

If you’re a knitter or crocheter, I’m sure you have something like this in your queue. Otherwise, there are tons of options that are ready made and at every price point. I also like etsy for handmade goods and supporting other craftspeople! I’ve picked out some options below! 

What I Wore | Christmas Plaid

         

WhatIWore: I really can’t get enough of wearing this scarf this season (see other OOTDs here, here and here)! It’s soft and cozy, but what I really love is the traditional buffalo check plaid. I was just thinking today if I could buy up loads of these on clearance at the end of the season, I’d make a bunch of throw pillows to decorate with from December-February (let me know if you spot an amazing deal!)

Every time I go to wear this boots, I make a point of pairing them with something on the conservative side. I’ve played around with skirts and I think it’d work in the evening with an oversized sweater, but not a daytime mommy kind of outfit in my small Midwestern town. Worn here with a longer sweater (for a little more tush coverage) and plaid button down here, I think they look great!
